Our Lady of Good Success Novena can be prayed for nine consecutive days for fulfillment of any wish.
Our Lady of Good Success appeared in Quito, Ecuador during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries to a Spanish nun whose little-known but remarkable life has a direct connection to our day.
The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Conceptionist nun in Quito, Ecuador, at the end of the 16th century as Our Lady of Good Success. Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres was the nun to whom she appeared.
About Our Lady of Good Success
Mother Mariana was a Spanish Conceptionist nun who made the journey to the New World to assist in the establishment of the Royal Convent. This destined soul was blessed with many unique abilities from heaven, including the ability to foresee many future events, particularly the Church’s catastrophic plight.
Our Lady reminded her that in these troubled times, heresies would flourish, manners and customs would be nearly completely corrupted, and the light of the Faith would be entirely extinguished.
This 17th-century sister was asked to become an expiatory sacrifice for our times in order to atone for the innumerable profanations, blasphemies, and abuses and to promote the triumphant restoration.
Thus, Mother Mariana’s vocation connects her to the Church and social crisis that few would deny we are witnessing today in a unique way.
During the period between1594 and 1634, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres, a cloistered Conceptionist nun in Quito, Ecuador. Throughout this period Our Lady appeared to her and told her that she would like to be known as Nuestra Senora del Buen Suceso, which translates to Our Lady of Good Success in English.
She discussed with Mother Mariana the Catholic Church’s future prospects, especially in the twentieth century. Our Lady also foretold to her the severe trouble brewing in the Church and society at large at that time. Mother Mariana died of shock on witnessing the horror of the crisis engulfing the Church.

Significance of Our Lady of Good Success Novena
The graces and miracles that occurred throughout Mother Mariana’s life and after her death as a result of Our Lady of Good Success’ intercession are much too numerous to list here. There were other additional prophecies that came true as well.
Mother Mariana de Jesus was a mystic, prophetess, seer, and victim soul who resided in Quito, Ecuador, during the colony’s establishment as a Spanish colony. Only the finest of the Church’s canonized saints, such as St. Theresa of Avila and St. Catherine of Siena, have lifestyles that compare to hers. The intricacies of her life’s tribulations coalesced into a single lifelong martyrdom.
The feast day of Our Lady of Good Success is observed on February 2 in Ecuador and Spain, the day she appeared to Mother Mariana de Jésus Torres.

O, inaccessible light of supernatural truth that illuminates our being with its celestial splendor and leads us to Thee, illuminate our minds with the light of the firm and living faith. It was such a faith that moved Our Mother of Good Success to show herself to the eyes of that blessed Conceptionist religious Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres.. Because we are anxious to enjoy the supernatural goods, help us to be less concerned about the things of this earth. With the protection of Holy Mary and a constant and sure faith in the revealed mysteries, help us to live contemplating the brilliance of our final end and anticipating the joy of seeing Thee and Mary Most Holy for all eternity.
Amen.

The day of thy birth can be called the day of thanksgiving, happiness, and consolation. Thou art the honor of mankind, the joy of Paradise, the beloved gift of God, and the well being of our country. What merit do we have, Blessed Virgin of Good Success, to deserve to have thee as our Mother? May God be forever blessed Who has desired it so! Blessed also art thou, Virgin Mary, because, despite our ingratitude, thou showest us thy propitious favor.
Thus art thou, most clement Mother, our consolation on earth, our refuge, our help and our protection in both our public and private needs. Safeguard us from war, pestilence, hunger, storms, earthquakes and all the calamities, which we merit by our guilt.. Pray for the Holy Church and for her visible head. Hear the supplications of those who invoke thee. Be thou our Advocate, our Mother, for as thus do we place our confidence in thee. To thee do we have recourse, and through thy intercession we hope to achieve from thy Son pardon for our sins and perseverance in grace until death.
